FRANKLIN SCHOOL PTA
The Parents and Teachers Association is just that -- an association. It is a joint effort by parents, teachers, the principal, and others in a commitment to help the children of Franklin School get the most from their elementary school experience. This covers a very broad range. We all have a very general idea of how the hard work of the teachers and the principal directly affects the children. Do you have any idea how the PTA fits into the equation?
The PTA can be a voice advocating for the rights or needs of our children, but with such an effective and devoted staff at Franklin School, the PTA often has the luxury of providing enrichment to the children where the school system cannot. The PTA has played a role in projects such as providing our school with classroom computers, as well as providing an enjoyable ice cream treat after Field Day. The bottom line is that we all want our children to be safe, learn as much as they can, and have fun while they do it.

PTA REFLECTIONS
PTA REFLECTIONS PROGRAM
The National PTA Reflections program is an annual theme based art competition which encourages students to express themselves in art. Six art categories are recognized: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Musical Composition, Photography and Visual Arts. With no limit to the number of entries one may submit, a student will often submit an entry in the art area in which he or she feels most competent and another entry in an art area that is new and challenging.
In Roxbury, this program is open to all students in pre-K through 8th grade. Deadline for entries will be in November 2010 (tba) and all entries are displayed at the Ledgewood Mall in celebration of Youth Arts Month (March). More than 400 Roxbury students participated in the Reflections Program during the 2009/2010 school year.
The theme for this past year’s program was “Beauty is…”
